Mapping LOVE.

Sometimes, I wonder if I've already met my soul mate. Maybe it was a brief encounter. Maybe he was across the room from me at a restaurant.  Maybe we passed each other in the city. Maybe he's exploring his life right now, just like I am. And maybe one day, I'll finally meet him. When it's right.

But there's also this fear- that it won't ever happen for me. I've come to accept that, though. Because I made a promise to myself a long time ago, that I will wait for true love...even if time seems to be running out. Some call it having too high of expectations. I like to think of it as realizing what you truly want and waiting for it.

Despite the disappointments, I will never give up hope that my true love is out there. He's out there. It's just a matter of where. Trust me, if I could pull out a map and find him right now, I'd go any distance. But that's not how this works. Patience really is a virtue, huh?

Until then, let's be patient together. Let's promise to fill our lives with happiness and embrace single-hood while we wait.  Let's feel whole without anyone else in the picture. But let's be ready when they finally enter it.

Here's to us. The movie moment wanting, fairy tale believing, lyric understanding, been there done that's, figuring it all out's, and waiting for the one- type of people.

In this great life, I hope you get what you're waiting for.
